Server side rendering is now good idea?

• Next.js

  2,039 120,313 10.0 JavaScript

  The React Framework

  

Always has been.

I think that you do need interactivity through JavaScript at some point. And I find react easier to maintain than an HTML/JS soup generated by PHP, JSP, or RoR.

I would take a look at https://fresh.deno.dev/ or https://kit.svelte.dev/ or https://nextjs.org/

• qwik

  132 20,147 9.9 TypeScript

  Instant-loading web apps, without effort

  

Others worth a look:

- Qwik[1]: code is very similar to React, only the interactive parts are sent to the browser, and they only execute on demand (eg when you interact with the thing)

- Astro[2]: probably the most popular “islands” framework, lets you bring your own interactive framework

- SolidStart[3]: doesn’t mention in the docs yet for some reason, but also supports “islands” in SolidJS, which is also one of the fastest client frameworks and also will feel familiar coming from React

  Build reactive applications with the Rails tooling you already know and love.

  

I agree with you, you can ship very interactive ui without the complexity on the frontend.

Have a look at stimulusreflex for example [1], the state is handled on the backend leading to you shipping less bloat to the client!
